The Living Room Grand – Steinway Model O

1920 Steinway Model O Grand Piano | #203696 – Restored

Balance. Beauty. The right piano choice for most size homes.

The Steinway Model O was introduced in the latter part of the year 1900. The Model O is very similar to the Model L and they are among the largest of Steinway’s ‘baby grands’. These pianos were first manufactured from 1900 to 1924. Very early Model O Grands lacked adjustable rear duplexes, an issue that was quickly remedied. The New York Steinway factory discontinued the Model O Grand in 1923 in favor of the new Steinway Model L. Very similar in both size and performance, the main difference between these two models is that the Model L features a more squared off tail design. This featured was introduced to allow for a larger soundboard area. The Hamburg Steinway factory continued production of the Model O and never put the Model L into regular production. In a rare move, the Model O was recently reintroduced by Steinway, New York in 2005, replacing the Model L.

The ‘Living Room’ Grand Piano

A Model O is a good bit larger than a Model S or Model M, giving it an edge when it comes to sound and tonal quality. These pianos feature a bass that is powerful and deep with a clear treble and overall rich tonal range. These pianos were designed with the limitations of smaller room sizes in mind but do not compromise on the quality of the playing experience. Later dubbed a ‘living room grand’, these pianos produce the iconic Steinway sound while taking up less room than a Model A or B. A new Model O measures 5’ 10 ¾” in length – a modern classic which balances convenient size with the legendary Steinway sound. We have rebuilt a number of golden era Model Os for various clients and have found these pianos to be quite popular with pianists, institutions and performance venues.

The Model O served as a testbed of sorts for a number of cabinet designs now associated with the modern grand piano. This includes the square arm case design and the now common, octagonal spade style legs. Due to a well-engineered scale design, these pianos output a sound that is beyond what many expect from a piano that is under six feet in length. Many accomplished pianists love the Model O for its reasonable size yet powerful sound and perfect touch. There is a reason 98% of concert pianists choose to play Steinway instruments!
